A FATAL MISTAKE.

y The Cleuelano (Ohio) Press
of February 2Sd, 1883, pub
hshed an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great eommotiOn among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
In attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of 1.-The digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculi.y ,ndeseribable dis
tress in the s.oaach, a feeling
that has been described as
faint "all goa sensation, a
sticky slime co letting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Thenfollowed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order toSave thePatient's
life an oper; ,;on was justii-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1888, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckermau, DR.. Perrier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton Of tae organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the Goctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of q
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostitution for
this was what the disease really
vast, she would have been liv-

ST. PAUL, Sept. 21.-This morning a
number of lumbermen met the heads of
the freight departments of the Northern
Pacific, Manitoba, Milwaukee, Omaha and
Minneapolis & st. Louis for the purpose of
equalizing the lumber rates from Minneap-
oils, Duluth, Cloquet and Wisconsin points
to points on roads in Northern Minnesota
and Dakota. A resolution to submit the
matter to arbitration was not put to a vote
The Milwaukee wants to give the Minne-
apolis differential of cents per hundred
to points in Dakota and gradually lower
for Minnesota towns. The Northern Pa
cific and Manitoba raise the argument that
their lines from the CIOquet district are
much shorter to Dakota points than from
Minneapolis, and that If a differential was
given the latter place 1t would be violating
the law by charging more for the short
haul than for the long and the men of the
Cloquet district would at once apply to the
Interstate commission for relief. Argu-
ments on this question were continued this
afternoon. A stumbling block was struck
when the matter OF the differences of rates
while waiting for arbitration was raised.

THE FEELING IN NEW YORK.
Review of Trade.

New YORK, Sept 16.-R. G. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review of trade say: "All
anticipa tions of monetary stringency this
fall which were expressed months ago are
abundantly justified by the pressure now
felt. Were the merchandise movement
alone to control, gold would be going out
in large amounts. Instead gold is coming
in, largely through the operations of syn
dicates in the purchase of securities or for
other investments or loans, and yet the
pressure is severe. The Boston market is
tight, many millions having been sent west
for railroad building or other operations.
Philadelphia is cautious because of recent
failures and consequences not wholly dis
closed. Cincinnati banks are forced to
especial conservatism by the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton uncertainties and the
effects Of the Fidelity collapse. Chicago
reports an enormous business done by note
brokers and high rates bid by manu.
facturers, merchants and others. A strin
gency Is reported at Nashville and Atlanta,
with active demand at full rates at New
Orleans, and the demand In Cleveland.
Omaha, Kansas City and other western
cities Is unusually brisk on account of ac-
uyity IN trade or In building. The treas

THE DYNAMITE GUN.
The Destructive Weapon Tested iii
the Presence of Secretary
Whitney and Others.

After Being Struck Twice the Vessel Was
Complete Wreck-Description of the
Gun and Projectile.
New YORK, Sept. 20.-Lieut. E. T.. Fa-
lenski made an official test of the long
range dynamite gun at Fort Lafayette to-
day in the presence of Secretary of the
Navy Whitney and representatives of the
Norwegian, Spanish, French. Danish,
Swedish and Japanese governments. The
target was an eighty-ton schooner an
chored at distance of one and one-fifth
miles from the firing point and when the
exhibition was finished she was reduced to
slivers that tloated away on the tide. The
gun used was sixty feet long, of eight-inch
bore, carrying projectile containing fifty
pounds of dynamite with force OF 800
pounds to the square inch. Six shots were
fired. two of which struck the vessel, tear
ing her all to pieces. Lieutenant Falenski
was congratulated by Secretary Whitney.

SCARCITY OF COAL.

The Situation in Chicago Becoming
Alarming-The Cause.
CHICAGO. Sept. 22.-Coal dealers declare
thatthere is very scant supply of anthra-
cite coal, not only in Chicago but through
out the west. They predict that coal will
be worth SO or $40 per ton in Chicago be-
fore snow flies and that the western coun-
try will have to depend upon corn cobs
this winter. ''The situation is simply
abominable," said prominent local dealer
this afternoon, "and what is more to be re-
GREETED, it is daily becoming worse. 1t is
very unfair, however, for the newspapers
to say that the Chicago dealers are in any
way to blame for the present condition Of
affairs, which is as obnoxious to them
as to the consumers. The coal ring is in
pennsylvania and New York and not in
Chicago, and their representatives here are
simply salaried agents who can do nothing
but their bidding.

ury continues to absorb money. 1t holds
at all points $2,5O0,00O more gold than last
Saturday and 100000 more legal tenders,
against 100000 less silver. But the treas
ury absorption obviously does not account
for the scarcity, in view of the large i'm
ports of gold, and the conclusion Is un-
avoidable that the drain of money to the
west and south is unusually large. Great
difficulty is experienced in making time
loans because New York banks have no
money to spare except on call. This de-
presses stocks and begins to cause curtail-
ment in commercial transactions. Months
ago 1t was foreseen that real estate Specu-
lation and the attempt to do in one year all

fNDEPENpENCE HALL.

All these years, however, the spirit of
union was growing fast. There had been
from the first few who could "think con-
tinentally," us the phrase was. They saw in
patriotic fancy time when all this country
should form fan empire of free republics in
dissolubly united" Most active among these
were Washington, Hamilton, Madison,
Gouverneur Morris and Gen. Philip Schuy-
Ter. They had many ardent supporters; but
the mass Of mankind are naturally decentrali-
zationists. The citizen stands for his neigh
bors as against the next neighborhood, for his
county as against the state; he loves his own
state, and it is not till it becomes truly great
that his heart swells with pride at thought of
his nation. The states rights principle in our
system is one that needs little cultivation
only intelligent direction. So the "Strong
Government Whigs," as they began to be
called, worked cautiously. Every schoolboy
knows the repeated difficulties Washington
had with their sovereignties, the states; how
often he appealed for q stronger central
power, how often he had to literally beg the
state authorities to stand by him. And If
the local feeling has more than once proved
too strong within the memory of living men,
what must 1t have been when as yet no glOri-
Gus memories clustered about the general
government, when there was but vague
promise Of union, but an ideal nationi

Interview With Mayor Lyman NJ. Jones

T. of Winnipeg. .
ST.. PAUL, Sept 2l.--Lyman NJ. Jones
mayor Of Winnipeg, here to-day en- route
east, said: II do not understand why
Premier Norquay should have absented
himself from the province for six weeks at
such critical juncture, as he could have
disposed of his bonds without leaving Win
nipeg. A firm there telegraphed him sew
eral days ago that they could place all the
provincial railway bonds, but Norquay re-
piled that he could place them himself in
New York. l see it stated in American
papers that we are making tremendous
effort to bring about railway connection
with American lines and bring the province
in closer commercial connection with the
United States. This is not so. The object
is and has been to obtain more close con-
nection with eastern Canada and the re-
sultant comparative freight rates. The
customs tariff will prevent us trading with,
the states any more than at present.

"Upon our construction of the testimony

was the intention of Mr.. Pierce to offer q
bribe." The committee finds Mr.. Pierce

defense, was all there was in it.
